Do gerbils eyes fall out when you tip them upside down?
No. A gerbil's eyes are anchored in place by the same kind of muscles we have.
yes gerbils are considered a rodent to some.
Yes. Gerbils are rodents.
Your gerbil has has a spot of hair missing on his back is it bad?
Gerbil hair loss may be caused by many reasons. The gerbil's cage mate could be fighting him for dominance, and could've bitten there; you may have to watch them. Mites can cause hair loss, and that needs to be checked out immediately. Or the gerbil is simply bored and is over-grooming. Throw in an extra toy or something new!
Is there such thing as a lilac gerbil?
Yes there is.
A lilac gerbil is a VERY rare species of gerbil, you will only get one once in a lifetime. They are a sort of grey colour, though if you look closely, it is LILAC but very light.

Hamsters would probably love to eat strawberries, but it is bad for them because there is too much sugar in it.
they might like each other!! It's part of how they communicate. Gerbils thump their legs when they are feeling threatened, scared, annoyed or being territorial. They also do it to warn other gerbils of food, predators or to tell them to go away. I have also find that they do it when excited because when I bring apple of toilet roll (their favourite things) they thump their legs out of excitement. Basically it is to show any extreme emotions they may be feeling to each other and you.
Can I teach an old gerbil not to bite?
Biting is the only way a gerbil has to communicate with you that it doesn't like something. So to try and force them to stop isn't natural. Plenty of handling early on in life with gerbils from a responsible independent (not a pet store) breeder, will not result in a gerbil that bites hard or often.

One needs to purchase a good quality gerbil mix such as Pets at Home muesli in order to keep gerbils as pets. One should also purchase gnawing toys which are an essential part of gerbils dental routines.
Can a gerbil live in a box with holes?
What do you mean "live in a box with holes"? NO if you mean as its cage...it will chew out in no time at all. Get it a 20 long aquarium or other non-chewable habitat and give it a box to chew up and sleep in.
Your hamster is showing that he doesn't like you at the moment. Feed your hamster through the bars of the cage with his favorite treats. bring your hamster to the vet and ask what to do to make your hamster more friendly towards you.
Yes, they can crack open and eat walnuts, and other types of nuts.
This is an engaging activity for them.
You should not over feed your gerbils on nuts and seeds, though.
Of course, always check first with a vet or breeder.
Tap your feet means moving your feet in a beat. Tap dancing is used with Tap shoes and that's probably where tap your feet comes from.
